New Administrative Plan Recommended
Directors Propose Consolidation of Junior
BETHEL PLAYERS FETED College and Academy into Four-year Unit
AT ATHLETIC BANQUET
University Accredits
Bethel Junior College
A statement from the University
of Minnesota announcing the full ac-crediting
of the entire Junior College
was received recently by Dean Daniel-son.
The administration feels highly
encouraged in receiving this recogni-tion
even before the second year's
work has been completed.
In explanation of the action taken
by the University it may be pointed
out that there has been maintained a
close contact between our dean and
professors and those of the Univer-sity.
Most of the courses have been
formulated in accordance with the
corresponding courses over there.
Annual Banquets Open
Commencement Scaso
DECORATIONS CORRESPOND
WITH THEMES FOLLOWED
Christ's message, "Ye are the Light
of the World" was the theme of the
program of the annual banquet given
by the Underclassmen for the Seniors
of the Seminary and Bible and Mis-sionary
Training School at the Golde
Rule Tea Rooms, Wednesday evening,
May 17. The five tables were deco
rated to represent five countries,
namely: A 1 a s k a; India; China;
Africa; and the United States, the
home base.
Dr. Karlson, the first speaker, dis-cussed
briefly the "Source of Light",
then Margaret Anderson stressed the
qualifications and duties of the "Ves-sels
of Light". The "Need of the
Light" was emphasized by Walter
Watkin. Lillian Kardell followed the
train of thought, speaking on the
"Poiker of Light", and Earl Widen
concluded with the message, "Let,
Your Light so Shine". John Ander-son
was toastmaster.
Special music was furnished by
Robert Klingberg, tenor; and Marian
Sandin, violinist.
Academy Banquet Has Dutch Motif
In a little Dutch village, walled in
by dikes and the sea, and amid a host
of quaint Dutch windmills the Juniors
and the Seniors of the Academy met
May 20 for their annual banquet.
The Dutch village was really the
Academy chapel which had been trans-formed
into a delightful banqueting
hall under the skillful direction of
Kenneth Mead and his assistants.
A large wooden windmill stood
guard at the sea wall as the faculty,
students, and friends filed in and
found their placts at the tables.
A splendid three-course dinner was
served, after which Virgil Olson, the
toast-master, led the Juniors in ren-dering
a splendid program.
The last number on the program
aroused much amusement. The "Dutch
Treat" given by members of the
Junior class turned out to be the busi-ness
meeting of a Ladies' Aid Society
in 1950. During a rather gossipy
session of the women, their pastor,
and visiting missionary, a great deal
of light was shed as to the future of
the Seniors of 1933.
Professor C. E. Carlson Main Speaker
The annual Athletic Banquet was
held Friday, May 26. in the school
auditorium under the sponsorship of
the athletic board. The guests of
hcnor were twenty-six Bethel athletes
who participated in basketball, base-ball,
and track.
The main sneaker of the evening
was Professor C. E. Carlson, who
spoke on "The Place of Athletics in
the School." Short talks were also
given by Earl Widen, captain of the
Junior College basketball team; Bob
Wallin and Karl Koch, co-captains of
the Academy basketball team; Coach
Ray Nelson; and Andrew Boylan,
chairman of the Athletic board. Clar-ice
Wessman was toastmaster.

Magnus Berglund and Francis
Sorley Named Honor Students
Scholarship honors have been
awarded to Magnus G. Berglund and
Francis B. Sorley of the graduating
class of the Junior College.
Both of these men have taken an
active part in the extra-curricular
activities of the school. Bud is presi-dent
of the Senior class; he was win-ner
of the 1933 oratorical contest; has
been a member of the College debat-ing
team; and was president of the
College Club in the fall of 1932. Be-sides
this he has served as student
pastor of the France Avenue Chapel
in Minneapolis since the fall of 1929.
He will represent the Junior College
at Commencement.
Francis, who expects to continue his
preparation for the ministry at the
Seminary, came to Bethel from the
University of Minnesota. He has been
prominent in the organization of the
Bethel Association of Religious Activi-ties,
serving as its first president, and
was also a member of the College de-bating
team. He will have a part in
the Class Day exercises.
Linguistic Ability Revealed
In Twelve Language Program
The illusion that the Swedes are the
Chosen People, and that Swedish will
be the language of heaven evidently
is not held by students at Bethel.
At the social hour of an Alexis
meeting recently, a brief program was
given with numbers, Bible verses and
songs, in twelve languages: Spanish,
Hebrew, Russian, Chinese, French,
Latin, Norwegian, Welsh, Lithuanian,
Greek, Swedish and Chippewa Indian.

Expansion Program
Outlined by Staff
of School Paper
Paper To Be Issued Every
Two Weeks, New Staff Hopes
500 NEW SUBSCRIBERS SOUGHT
AMONG ALUMNI AND FRIENDS
A program is being outlined by the
new staff of the Clarion to extend its
subscription list to five hundred out-side
subscribers, chiefly among alumni
and young peoples societies in the
denomination.
If there is the response from the
alumni that is expected, it will be pos-sible
to issue the Clarion every two
weeks rather than every three weeks
as has been the case this year.
A course in journalism is also being
planned that will enable staff mem-bers
and others interested in writing
for publication to gain the theoretical
knowledge that is necessary for good
newspaper work.
Intrepid Big Game Hunters
Overcome ferocious Beast
DORMITORY TERROR FINALLY
TRAPPED IN LAIR AND SLAIN
Although the men's dormitory in the
Seminary building had been terrorized
for some time by the depradations of
a ferocious beast whose tearing fangs
and voracious appetite struck fear in
the hearts of every inmate, attempts
at capture had failed until Dave
Guston, intrepid and versatile editor-elect
of the Clarion, bravely supported
by his room-mate, Jack Anderson,
took his life in his hands, and brought
to an end the bloody career of the
marauder.
About midnight, the evening of the
Athletic Banquet, the beast was heard
moving in his lair. Hasty plans for
a campaign of offence were laid and
impromptu weapons of warfare were
called into use, and after a life-risking
and valiant attack the prey was over-come.
The following morning the weapons,
evidencing hard usage, were found on
display, together with the trophy of
the hunt. The weapons consisted of
a long-handled oil mop, a dime-store
hammer, a carpet beater, a broken-handled
broom, and a couple of other
tools; the prey, a poor little innocent
mouse.
Dean Danielson to Head.Organization
C. E. Carlson Appointed Registrar
CURRICULUM TO INCLUDE
PRE-PROFESSIONAL AND
PRE-REQUISITE COURSES
New Employment Service
Planned
A plan to merge the administrations
of the Junior College and the Acad-emy
in accordance with the 6-4-4 edu-cational
system was unanimously ac-cepted
at a recent meeting of the
Board of Directors of Bethel Institute.
According to this arrangement
Bethel Junior College will next year
include the Junior and Senior years
of the ordinary high school course.
The adminstration of this new unit
will be headed by the present dean of
the Junior College, Mr. Walfred
Danielson. To assist in the admini-stration,
C. E. Carlson was appointed
as registrar.
The so-called 6-4-4 plan, although
it represents a new trend in education,
has passed the experimental stage and
is now being used by progressive edu-cational
boards in several states, Cali-fornia
having used it with success for
some time. The plan provides for
three separate units: first, the grade
school including grades one to six;
second, the Junior High School, in-cluding
the seventh and eight grade
and the first two years of high school;
and the third, Senior High School and
Junior College, covering the junior
and senior years of high school and
the first two years of College.
Pre-Professional Courses Added
Approached as to plans for next
year, Dean Danielson stated that
plans are being made to broaden out
the curriculum of the Junior College
to include several pre-professional
courses such as pre-engineering, pre-medical,
pre-dental, and pre-educa-tional,
in addition to the present offer-ings
in Liberal Arts and pre-seminary.
Plan New Employment Service
Mr. Danielson also intimated that
a more vigorous employment service
is being planned. "To every worthy
and needy student", said Dean Daniel-son,
"who pays in cash for tuition and
fees, Bethel Junior College hopes to
provide sufficient employment on the
campus, in homes, or with Twin City
firms to cover the necessities of board
and room."
Pre-Requisite Course Planned
In view of the fact that Minnesota
Junior high schools only carry their
students through the ninth grade, it
is planned to offer pre-requisite
courses which will make it possible
for students coming from the junior
high schools to enter Bethel Junior
College. On the basis of this new ar-rangement
an intensive publicity pro-gram
in favor of students for next
year has kal,ready: been undertaken.
Judging by the early responses as
reported by the registrar, Professor
C. E. Carlson, indications are that
next year's enrollment will probably
be at least twice the present Junior
College enrollment.
The plans for the re-organization
go to the General Conference meeting
in Chicago June 14-18 for verification.

THE BETHEL CLARION
Editorial
"Bethel is not the place it used to be" is a
remark that we often hear from those who have
been here in years past. Many times it is said
with a sigh. We admit the truth of the statement
but we do not sigh. Passing years, changing
student bodies, transitions in administrations will
inevitably bring about altered manifestations of
school life.
Bethel's alterations may disturb some, but
we feel that if candid judgment is to • be passed,
that some of these changes at least, have been
directed toward true advancement.
Especially noticeable has been the new feel-ing
of unity and understanding between the dif-ferent
departments of our school. Intramural
athletics, union chapel services, reorganization of
religious activities, an all school newspaper—all
have contributed to this advance.
What then of spiritual things ? Has there
been any advance in this realm ? Of this we hesi-tate
to speak. Spiritual values and trends are
more difficult to evaluate than the material.
Perhaps we can detect a forward movement
toward a new sincerity — a stripping away of
hypocrisy and of cant. If this be true, it is well—
for herein lies genuine progress.
Certainly it is true that if there is material
and intellectual accomplishment not followed by
a corresponding spiritual growth, we have missed
our goal.
To Our Adviser
A pioneering venture involves participation in
many kinds of work ; and in the launching out
this year on a new project as an Institute publica-tion,
the Clarion staff has had to exercise its abil-ity
in various lines. This is particularly true of
the leader of this pioneer group, who has served
not only as our adviser, but has graciously assist-ed
in the capacity of proofreader, typist, reporter,
copyreader, and editor.
Under her able guidance and wise counsel our
new paper has weathered successfully, we feel,
the difficulties that have arisen during the year.
To Miss Esther Sabel we express our apprecia-tion
for her kindliness, encouragement, and help.
APPRECIATION
Members of the faculty, students, and alumni
feel that this year the Clarion has made some big
strides in the direction of being a school news-paper
in the full sense of that word. But to edit
a paper, even though it is small and tri-weekly,
requires much time, thought, and skill. The brunt
of the burden rests on the shoulders of the editor-in-
chief ; and our editor deserves a vote of thanks
for the success he has attained in the editing of
our school paper.
The Chief has set a new and high standard for
the Clarion, and he is to be commended on the
ability he has shown in his work. His courtesy
and tact have made the work a delight to his fel-low
staff workers.
Who's Who
Eric N. Lindholm
The Rev. Eric N. Lindholm, Execu-tive
Secretary for the Minnesota
Swedish Baptist Conference, has con-tinued
to serve this year also as
teacher of Homiletics in the Bible and
Missionary Training School.
Mr. Lindholm was born in Stora
A , Ostergotland, Sweden. At the
age of nine he came to America and
settled with his parents in Lindsborg,
Kansas. In September, 1916, he came
to Bethel to prepare for the gospel
ministry, graduating from the Acad-emy
in 1919 and from the Seminary
in 1922. In Bethel he was an excellent
student and showed marked ability in
public speaking. He served the Grove
City church as student pastor.
While pastor of the Ballard Church
in Seattle, Mr. Lindholm spent two
years at the University of Washing-ton.
In the fall of 1927 he was called
to the Central Church in St. Paul.
Soon after coming to St. Paul he was
elected to the School Board of Bethel
Institute and served as secretary of
the Board until the past year when
his work has made it necessary for
him to be away from the Twin Cities
the greater part of the time.
The Rev. Mr. Lindholm preaches the
gospel with power. He is always a
welcome speaker at young people's
rallies and summer assemblies. Be-cause
of his especial interest in evan-gelism
he accepted the call of the
Minnesota Conference to become Exe-cutive
Secretary. His work in this
field takes him into all parts of Min-nesota
and his earnest and powerful
messages are an inspiration to many.
HIS LAMP AM I
To shine where He shall say;
And lamps are not for sunny rooms,
Nor for the light of day;
But for the dark places of the earth,
Where shame and wrong and crime
have birth,
Or for the murky twilight gray,
Where wandering sheep have gone
astray;
Or where the light of faith grows dim
And souls are groping after Him.
And as sometimes a flame we find,
Clear-shining through the night,
So bright we do not see the lamp,
But only see the light,
So may I shine—His life the flame—
That men may glorify His name.
—Selected.
THE BIBLE
Dig deep in this precious golden mine,
Toil, and its richest ore is thine;
Search, and the Saviour will lend His
aid,
To draw its wealth from its mystic
shade;
Strive, and His Spirit will give the
light,
To work in this heavenly mine
aright;
Pray without ceasing, in Him confied,
Into all truth His light will guide.
—Anon.
The Book Corner
By H. C. Wingblade
An appropriate book for perusal at commence-ment
time is Herald M. Doxsees' GETTING INTO
YOUR LIFEWORK (Abingdon Press, New York).
The book is the result of the author's own rich ex-perience
and observation as well as of consultation
with some of America's most prominent leaders.
From his first sentence, "We are living in an age
of surprises", to his last sentence, "In giving to men
his best he will receive more than riches—the pleas-ure
of having done a good work well",—the author
leads the reader on through the various steps and
problems.
He emphasizes the need of facing life squarely
in early youth; seeking and applying the best possi-ble
advice; of laying a strong foundation of educa-tion;
of carefully analyzing his own fitness for the
proper task; of thinking in terms of the work in
which he will render most useful service to the
world; of choosing highly his life call; and finally of
throwing himself unreservedly into that call.
The sobs of old men who have failed are heard;
the kindly warning of old men who have succeeded
is passed on. Peak after peak of world figures are
sighted — Jane Addams, Alice Freeman Palmer,
Hoover, Grenfell, Babson, Wanamaker.
As a sample of good advice for doing chosen
work well we have the following: (1) be observant;
(2) use notebook; (3) listen to advice; (4) seek the
best health; (5) be courteous. Nor is the seeking of
divine guidance disregarded.
As a kind of climax to the book is quoted the
words expressing the leading principle of the great
Christian merchant prince, John Wanamaker: "Do
the very best you can and leave the rest to Provi-dence."
The book is on the reserve shelf.

Much Ado .. .
S-Q-U-E-A-K, SQUEAK
It seems to me the squeak in the chapel chairs gets
worse as the months go by. I suppose one remedy would
be to tie every student to his chair so he couldn't move.
But I'm wondering if something can't be done during the
summer vacation to the chairs themselves. Would some
wooden pegs, or some oil, or a tightening of screws help
matters any ? The Squeaks are not conducive to concen-tration
on the chapel talk—and I want to know what is
being said.
—Anti-Squeak.
Ouch!
Many authorities say that the big part in an education
is learning how to live with those with whom we daily
come in contact. If we fail to live unselfishly with our
fellow men here at Bethel, how and when are we going
to do it when we get away from here ? How would it be
if we started to show a little respect for those around us ?
It seems odd that some persons have to make their
stump speeches and perform their gymnastics during the
very hours that students with regular habits are using for
rest. One can be certain that one of the radios will be on
duty in case some of the "wind-jammers" forget to do
their part in preventing the midnight slumbers.
Let's not be as selfish as a bunch of idiots! Let's all
enjoy living instead!
—Hopeful.
Think On These Things
By Esther Sabel
And Abraham built the altar there, and took the knife
to slay his son. And the angel of Jehovah called unto him
.. . Lay not thy hand upon the lad. Gen. 22:9-12.
Our hardest sacrifices are never so hard as we thought
they were going to be, IF we go on with them to the very
uttermost that God asks. A sacrifice of self to God's will
made half-way. or even nine-tenths. is a grinding, cruel
experience. When it is made the WHOLE way, with the
altar built, and self in one's dearest hope laid upon the
altar, God always comes with an unexpected blessing that
so overwhelms us with love and joy that the hardship
of the sacrifice sinks out of sight. -Now I know that
thou fearest God, seeing thou bast not witheld. - Can
He say that to us today? No one ever knows the full joy
of hearing this word from God until the altar has been
built, and the knife is laid to the sacrifice.
—C. G. TRUMBULL.

GUSTAF VASA'S BIBLE-1541
EARLIEST SWEDISH BIBLE PRINTED
OWNED BY BETHEL INSTITUTE
June, 1933 THE CLARION Page Five
BETHEL Theological Seminary was
founded by Dr. Alexis Edgren
over a half a century ago to meet a
vital need for trained leadership
among the Swedish Baptists of
America. The school was fostered
during its infancy by the University
of Chicago, until, having grown with
the denomination, it was able to leave
its foster mother and begin an inde-pendent
existence. The history of the
Seminary has been varied, trying at
times, but as if in confirmation of the
faith of its founders, each obstacle
has been surmounted.
Bethel Seminary was founded by
men of great faith and noble vision,
men who believed that they were in-struments
under God for the advanc-ing
and perpetuating of His work. It
was by this faith that the Seminary
survived the perils of the years, and
it is by this faith that it will survive
the difficulties of the future.
The founders of the school saw the
need of a well trained spiritual leader-ship
for Swedish Baptists of America.
Though the Seminary has grown in
intellectual stature as the years have
passed, the great emphasis has ever
been upon the spiritual ideals in-stilled
by those who gave it birth.
The Seminary has a unique min-istry
in the teaching of the "faith of
our fathers", the living, inspired Word
of God. It is the vital center of the
denomination, a center upon -which
every denominational activity is ulti-mately
dependent for life,.

WELVE years ago the Bible and

was organized for the purpose of
training young people for Christian
service. The aim of this department
is not only to prepare young men and
women for definite foreign and home
missionary work but also to supply
the needs of those who desire to be-come
more efficient workers in their
own home churches, and to fill the
ever increasing demand for trained
leaders.

"Be ye doers of the Word and not
hearers only" has been the maxim of
the girls in the Bible and Missionar
Training School this year.
In accordance with this precept the
girls have been busy with church(
visitation; church secretarial work ;
Sunday school classes; supervision of
Junior Y. P. Societies; worship and
play classes for community girls;
Gospel services and Bible study class-es
in girls' Homes; teaching handwork
and telling stories at the city mis-sions;
distributing tracts; and above
all, putting into practice the truths
learned in the personal soul-winning
class wherever opportunity has pre-sented
itself.
To the girls themselves has come
a new joy and a deeper realization of
the truth that "we are saved to serve."

"GET THY TOOLS READY; THE
LORD WILL GIVE THEE WORK"
Not every student who enters the
Bethel Bible and Missionary Training
School comes with the purpose of pre-paring
for the ministry or for full
time missionary service; nor is the
appeal of our school intended to be
limited to such. There are, in our
own home churches, boundless possi-bilities
for faithful, earnest service
awaiting the consecrated and trained
Christian young man and woman. To
those who are willing to be used. of
1Christ as He directs, avenues of serv-ice—
humble though they may some-
' times be — will present themselves.
Nevertheless, a number of our former
students are in full time Christian
work both at home and on foreign
fields.
In far away Africa, for example,
we have two representatives, Esther
Ehnbom—our first contribution to the
f or e i g n mission field — and Linda
Erickson; in India, three, Elsie May
Larson, Fern Rold, and Doris Skog-lund
Frykenberg; in the Philippines,
Fortunata Salmorin, and in Japan,
Florence Nystrom Collins. One is
under appointment to Africa and ex-pects
to go as soon as the necessary
funds are forthcoming; thirteen are in
further preparation for foreign mis-sionary
service or ready to go as soon
as the mission boards are in condition
to send them; these latter include five
nurses, one young man completing his
first year of medical college, two
teachers, one social service worker,
one college senior, and one home mis-sion
worker.
On the home field six of our young
men graduates and one young woman
are holding pastorates; twenty-five
are faithfully serving congregations
as wives of ministers; one is a
matron in a children's home. A large
number have gone back to their own
home churches and are serving more
efficiently, because of their special
training, as Sunday School teachers
and superintendents, directors of
junior choirs, superintendents of
junior societies, and leaders in various
phases of young people's work.

BETHEL Junior College is closing
its first two-year program under
the 112,Jst auspicious circum-stances.
The school came into existence just
in time to meet the threatening chal-lenges
of the depression—tests which
would try the metal of institutions
already well established.
Through it all the college has had
attachments which seem to have kept
it not only safe but which have con-tributed
to a steady development and
substantial foundation. The most
fundamental of these is the purpose
which brought the school into being.

Class Song
To Tune "Farewell to Thee"
From the peaceful hills and vales we
came,
Our Bethel ever dear, to thee.
With one accord we bless thy name,
This our class of nineteen hundred
thirty-three.
Our fondest hopes were born in thee
We love and cherish every thought.
And to this class of thirty-three
Sweet memories are brought.
And to our teachers loyal, true,
Whose faith in God is ever sweet,
May God's rich blessings rest on you
Till the day when we shall altogether
meet.
The time for us to part has come
In nineteen hundred thirty-three.
We say farewell to thee our home,
But we shall loyal be.
To our friends and classmates one and
all,
We cannot really say goodbye;
We will only sing our farewell song;
Re-union Day will very soon be draw-ing
nigh.
Beloved class of thirty-three
Put on your armour ever bright.
Great victories we hope to see
Through. Christ who is our might.

Team work. Under the Prayer Group,
six bands have been organized to meet
at different times during the day. A
student group for Bible study dis-cusses
problems that do not ordinarily
enter into the work of the Bible
classes of the regular curriculum. The
Student Volunteers remain a separate
organization under the Mission Study
Group; they will continue to promote
interest in missions through addresses
by missionaries home on furlough,
stereoptican lectures on foreign mis-sion
fields, as well as through deputa-tion
meetings conducted in the
churches. Membership on Gospel
Teams will be limited to those whose
Christian experience and character, as
well as oratorical or musical ability,
warrants their appointment to such a
position of responsibility and privi-lege.
A Council was carefully chosen, and
elected by the student body, to head
up the work of the Association. This
Council is composed of four officers
and students directors of the four
groups. Prof. Olson will serve as
faculty adviser for the Gospel Teams,
and Prof. Norstrom for the Mission

BETHEL ASSOCIATION OF
RELIGIOUS ACTIVITIES
Bethel Institute is a C h r i s t i a n
school. That is the primary justifica-tion
for its existence. It is a school
of high educational standards, and
everything possible is done to keep its
scholastic standing high. But most
of the students who choose to come to
Bethel come, first of all, because they
desire to get their education in an in-stitution
where they may enjoy Chris-tian
fellowship and be trained in
Christian leadership, whether they in-tend
to enter full time Christian serv-ice
or not. Naturally, there has de-veloped
out of this aspiration various
organizations, intended to meet the
spiritual needs of the students and to
provide expressional activities along
the lines of Christian service.
In the past, prayer meetings have
been conducted morning and evening,
and at other times as the Spirit has
led; the Student Volunteer Band has
sought to inspire and foster interest
in missions, especially foreign mis-sions,
both within the school and in
the various churches of the Twin
Cities and surrounding towns; Gospel
teams have witnessed to the saving
grace of Jesus Christ in missions, old
people's homes, boarding houses, and
elsewhere.
There has been a growing convic-tion,
however, that this phase of our
school life should Le more closely or-ganized
than has been true in the
past. As a result, the Bethel Associa-tion
of Religious Activities came into
being during the latter part of the
present school year.
Under this association all the re-ligious
activities of the school are
divided into four groups: Prayer,
In line with the modern trend in
education, Bethel Institute has seen
the advisability of placing as much
of school government as possible in
the hands of the students themselves.
A Student Council has served in this
capacity for many years in the Acad-emy
department. Last fall, to meet
the increased demands created by the
addition of the Junior College, this
organization was reorganized to in-clude
the students in the new depart-ment.
A new constitution, drawn up early
in the year, provides for the promo-tion
and general control of student
activities by the Student Council, as
well as cooperation with the faculty
in maintaining proper conduct on the
part of the students.
The organization of a Student
Council in the Seminary and Bible and
Missionary Training School completes
the investment of self-government in
the student body. In matters that
concern the entire school the two
Student Councils unite in discussing
problems and administering affairs.

One of the phases of the cultural
expansion program at Bethel that has
received much emphasis this year is
debating. An affirmative and a neg-ative
team considered the subject
"Resolved that the United States
should agree to the cancellation of all
inter-allied war debts."
Although but one victory was gain-ed
by the first Junior College teams, a
foundation has been laid that it is
hoped will win high honors for Bethel
in coming years. Certainly forensics
will become an increasingly important
factor in the life of a school which
places such great emphasis upon the
development of public speaking.
Debating contributes to thorough
scholarship by way of research, and
develops poise and the ability to rea-son
before an audience. With the
growth of school membership at
Bethel, a place on the debating teams
will bear an honor for which there
will be keen competition.

The Male Chorus is one of the old-est
as well as one of the most prom-inent
organizations at Bethel. In-cluded
in its annual program is usual-ly
an extended tour, which this year
covered six states: Minnesota, South
Dakota, Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas, and
Missouri.
Under the experienced leadership
of Professor George G. Hultgren, who
directs several musical organizations
in the Twin Cities, including the Odin
Male Chorus, members of the club re-ceive
valuable training in chorus sing-ing.
This together with the fellow-ship
among the boys, the anticipation
of the annual tour, as well as of the
various shorter trips taken each year
makes membership in the club a much
sought-for position.

Baseball
Although Bethel has not had a base-ball
team for many years, and is the
newest member of the Southern Min-

has nevertheless had a very good
following from the student body this
year. At the first call for practice
there were more out than there had
been for any other sport.

.'• The team is being coached by Mar-shall
Ryman, from the University of
Minnesota. He has played on a U
team for three years, and has also had
experience coaching several other
teams before coming here.
The first team consists of: Karl
Koch and Carl Holmberg, pitchers;
Albin Carlson, catcher; Cliff Lindor,
first baseman; Dick Paulson, second
baseman; Andy Sinkiewicz, third base-man;
Lowell Anderson, shortstop; and
Francis Sorley, Don Tanquist, Cliff
Dickau, and Vic Ernest, fielders.
Most of the players on this year's
team will be back next year to con-tinue
their playing. Don Tanquist,
who is playing field for the Bethel
team, was formerly a student at Sioux
Falls College and holder of several
track records there, and amazes the
rival pitchers with his speedy circuit
of the bases.
Athletic Prospects for Coming
Year
The outlook for Bethel's athletic
program for next year is unusually
bright. In basketball, Bethel is keep-ing
her entire team practically intact
while the two strongest teams in the
league are losing much of their best
talent. Coach Ray Nelson will un-doubtedly
be back also, and thus the
loss of time and effort in learning the
technique of a new coach will be elim-inated.
For baseball as well, many of this
year's squad will return, as will also
the coach, Marshall Ryman. Koch,
who seems to be Bethel's best all
around athlete, is one of the players
who will be on next year's team. He
can handle a catching, pitching, or
fielding job equally well, but will

Since basketball talent here has
divided„ two teams this year,
one_ team being entered in the Acad-
. emy league, and one in the Junior
,College league, Bethel has not been
as strong in basketball as she has
been previously. This condition, how-ever,
will be remedied next year by
concentrating all the strength to
building 1.1D a strong Junior College
team.
During the past season the Acad-emy
team champions of the Twin City
Academic Leagues the year before,
finished fourth in their conference.
The team had been considerably weak-ened
by the loss of two of the best
players Bethel has ever trained, Bill
Adam and Lloyd Magnuson, who en-tered
the University of Minnesota,
and Macalester College, respectively.
Adam, who came to Bethel without
any knowledge of basketball, played
on the team here for four years, and
then upon graduation from the Acad-emy
played a regular position on the
freshman team at the University.
An outstanding player, who has had
a position on both the Academy and
College team this year, is Karl Koch,
a Junior in the Academy. He has
distinguished himself by his speed and
smoothness in playing. Earl Widen,
captain of the College team, has also
made an enviable record.
The more or less impromptu track
team showed surprising strength this
I spring by placing second in a tri-angular
meet with Concordia and St.
Paul Luther. Track had not been
planned officially this year, and be-cause
of this the boys did not obtain
the definite training that a coach
would have supplied.
Most of the boys who placed in the
meet will be back next year. Tan-quist,
the fastest man in the Junior
College League, will return, as will Al
Carlson and Koch, distance men, and
Tasker and Vic Johnson, high jump-ers.
In addition to all this experi-enced
material, Bethel will probably
have a track coach and regular prac-tices.
With all these assets, prospects
for a high place for Bethel next year
are very bright.

Noses Out Bethel
Outcome of Game Uncertain
Throughout Entire Contest
Team Shows Marked Improve-
- ment
Dr. Martin Luther defeated Bethel
Friday, May 19, by a score of 8-7 in a
see-saw affair at New Ulm.
Bethel took the lead in the first
inning after Sinkiewicz had been
thrown out at first. Wallin got a
single to left field, and Lindor follow-ed
with a two-base hit to left center,
scoring Wallin. Cully Holmberg slap-ped
a single to right which scored
Lindor, and Dickau next up hit a
bounder to the short-stop and was
put out to complete Bethel's half of
the inning.
D. M. L. scored one run in their
half when Bartles was called safe at
the plate on a close play. Bethel add-ed
another run in the second inning,
combining a walk and two hits for the
tally, which made the score 3 to 1 in
their favor. The home nine scored
one run in the fourth frame on a hit
and an error.
In the fifth inning Luther scored
five runs on three hits. Coupled with
two errors they maintained this lead
until the seventh trip to the bat when
Bethel scored four runs on three hits,
two bases on balls, and an error. D.
M. L. scored the deciding tally in the
eighth inning when Beck was given a
base on balls, Reiss sacrificed, ad-vancing
Beck to second, and Berndt
sent a two-base hit to right center,
bringing in the winning score.
Holmberg with three hits led the
Bethel attack.
LINEUP :
Bethel H. R. E.
Sinkiewicz, 3b..0 1
If Bethel could only get the track
officials to have a ten minute rest be-tween
events, we could enter Tanquist
in every event and take all first
places.
There is a deeper meaning to
Athletics than just playing the game,
a great man once said, but most
athletes can't go deep enough to find
it.
The story is told that when Koch
was running the mile at Concordia he
entered the last hundred yards in third
place; but as he neared the finish, he
looked up, screwed his face into a
grimace and with a burst of speed
finished second. Why don't the rest of
the team make faces?
Al Carlson injured his finger in an
attempt to block a runner off at the
plate in the Martin Luther game at
New Ulm. He received a little first
aid and continued as catcher.
Most of the Bethel players seemed
to have a vacant and wandering look
during the game Saturday. We won-der
if it could have been because of
too much sleep the night before.

TANQUIST HIGH POINT MAN
Tanquist Winning Broad Jump
Placing in every event but the pole
vault and half mile relay, the well-balanced
track and field team of
Bethel, scoring 43 points, finished
second in the triangular meet in which
Luther was victorious. Concordia fin-ished
third with 17 points to its credit.
Don Tanquist, the versatile Bethel
star, led the field in scoring, taking
undisputed first in the 440, the 220,
the 100 yard dashes, broad jump, and
shot put.
Karl Koch, Bethel's distance man,
finished second to Mjones of Luther
in the mile event and Vic Johnson
and Hal Tasker finished second and
third respectively in the high jump.
The 120 yard high hurdles event
provided a thrilling spectacle with
Don Peterson of Bethel putting on a
hair-raising finish to tie Foster of
Luther for first.

Fate of College Seniors
Predicted in Comedy Skit
JUNIOR COLLEGE CLUB GIVES
ENTERTAINMENT IN HONOR
OF GRADUATING CLASS
The fate of the college seniors
twenty years hence was predicted in
an uproariously humorous skit, given
in honor of the graduating class, by
the Juniors at the last College Club
meeting, May 15.
The scene was set in the home of
Charlotte Miller, at Upsala, Sweden,
where she was entertaining the class
of '33 at a reunion celebrating the
twentieth anniversary of their Com-mencement.
Charlotte (impersonated
b y Gertrude Liljegren), a home eco-nomics
teacher, was presented as the
fiancee of Don Peterson (Vern Wess-man),
conductor of the Upsala Sym-phony
Orchestra. The engagement,
however, had a disastrous termination,
as the audience later learned.
The first guest to arrive was Al
Bergfalk (Don Clover), who was still
a bachelor, still editing and preaching;
he had become almost totally bald.
A salesman, who turns out to be Bud
Berglund (Layton Jackson), appears,
selling a miraculous hair-restorer.
Sam Wessman (Dave Guston, a pro-fessor
of Spelling (!), has proved to
be the very personification of absent-mindedness.
He was "conveyed" to the
home of Charlotte by a cab driver,
Francis Sorley (Birger Swenson),
who, having left out an accent mark
in a Greek examination at Bethel, had
lost his grip on life.
Outbursts of laughter were con-stantly
drawn forth by the "taking
ways" of Charlotte's aunt, Christina
(John Anderson), who was smitten by
love for the Spelling professor.
The climax proved tragic, for just
as Al Bergfalk was about to read the
wedding ceremony for Charlotte and
Don, an officer (Axel Backlund), ac-companied
by a young girl, (Alice
Gustafson), rushed in and amid the
consternation of all arrested Don for
breach of promise.
Wise and Otherwise
Idiomatically Speaking
Alice Gustafson: "Completely un-trained
and with no openings outside
of school teaching, my Aunt fell back
on her needle."
Dallas Johnson: "That's nothing,
my father sat down on the spur of
the moment."
Sound Judgment
Don Peterson: "This car is sound
in every part:"
Sam Wessman: "So I hear."
Bob Wallin, writing: "Hey, Don,
how many n's in financially ?"
Don Bersell: "Two, and there are
two r's in embarrassed."
Ivan Sundberg: "Miss Nelson, what
have I learned today ?"
Miss Nelson: "Why, Virgil, what a
question to ask."
Ivan S.: "Well, not that I care per-sonally,
but they always want to know
at home."
THANK YOU!
To the Clarion Staff the Bethel In-stitute
Alumni wish to express their
appreciation for the space so gen-erously
reserved without cost. Is
there not some way by which we can
reciprocate next year—by subscribing
for the Clarion, by sending in news
items to the alumni editor, or by ad-vertising
in its columns ?
Among the Grads
The big news event for the Alumni
Column is the ACADEMY ALUMNI
FELLOWSHIP BANQUET. Let us
hear what our president has to say
about it:
GREETINGS TO THE ACADEMY
ALUMNI:
Seeing that I did not make an in-augural
address, I desire to call upon
our fellows for a real genuine spirit
of cooperation in regard to the Alumni
Fellowship Banquet. This fellowship
will bring us into the Twenty-fifth
Anniversary of our Association. Plans
are under way for a great ALL-IN-STITUTE
ALUMNI organization.
Come to our Spring meeting and find
out all about this. Then, there will be
the opportunity for a social fellowship
around the dinner tables, together
with a fine program of music and
talks. Help make this a worth-while
occasion.
Remember the date . . . June 7
Place . . . Bethel Academy
Time .. . 6:30 P. M.
Tickets . . . 50 cents
Fraternally yours,
BILL TAPPER.
The speakers for the Baccalaureate
service and the Commencement Exer-cises
have been chosen from the list of
our Seminary Alumni—The Rev. F.
C. Hamlin, pastor of the Englewood
Swedish Baptist Church, Chicago, will
give the baccalaureate address and
Dr. Emil Friborg who has recently
rounded out his twenty-five years of
service with the Seattle First Swedish
Baptist Church, will give the Com-mencement
address.
On his return from an extended
tour throughout the state of Wash-ington
in the interest of Bethel, Dean
Danielson reports a very profitable
contact with Bethelites on the coast.
The local alumni chapter and Mr.
Danielson were entertained on Mon-day
evening, May first, at the home
of the Rev. and Mrs. Reuben Olson
of Seattle, at which time the interests
of the Alma Mater were discussed.
Mr. Olson is a graduate of the Semi-nary,
class of '29.
Prominent among the guests were
Dr. Emil Friborg of Seattle, Rev.
David Moberg, Rev. and Mrs. A. B.
Nelson of Tacoma, Miss Adelle Carl-son
of Puyallup, and Mr. David
Youngdahl of the Seattle-Pacific Col-lege,
whose contributions to the dis-cussion
were most favorable to Bethel
and its future.
The Columbia Chapter of Bethel
Alumni is a progressive group. The
school will hear from their efforts in
its behalf, not least from the view-point
of financial support. They are a
wide awake and influential contingent
of Bethel boosters.
Recent visitors at Bethel: The Rev.
and Mrs. Wm. Backlund of Virginia,
Minnesota, the Rev. and Mrs. Marvin
Samuelson of Eveleth, Minnesota, the
Rev. and Mrs. Martin Erickson of
Moline, Illinois, and the Rev. A. W.
Erickson of Beresford, South Dakota,
Margaret Urban, Doris Eastlund and
Evelyn Mattson visited the Clarion
office after Alexis meeting May 24.
Mr. and Mrs. Melvin Christiansen
(formerly Amy Lambert) proudly an-nounce
the arrival into their home of
a baby boy. Congratulations!
Jeanette Carlson left April 25th to
work with the Rev. A. 0. Lundeen
in Northern Minnesota.

The motto of the Sophomore class
of 1933 has been, "Wisdom is the
principle thing: therefore, get wis-dom:
and with all thy getting, get un-derstanding."
The Sophomores feel
that if they have approached the at-tainment
of their goal this year, it has
been because of the patience and un-derstanding
of their adviser, Miss
Nelson.

At a recent meeting of the Junior
College Club officers were elected for
the coming year. The new officers

The Bethel Clarion Volume XII BETHEL INSTITUTE, ST. PAUL, MINN. JUNE, 1933 -
New Administrative Plan Recommended
Directors Propose Consolidation of Junior
BETHEL PLAYERS FETED College and Academy into Four-year Unit
AT ATHLETIC BANQUET
University Accredits
Bethel Junior College
A statement from the University
of Minnesota announcing the full ac-crediting
of the entire Junior College
was received recently by Dean Daniel-son.
The administration feels highly
encouraged in receiving this recogni-tion
even before the second year's
work has been completed.
In explanation of the action taken
by the University it may be pointed
out that there has been maintained a
close contact between our dean and
professors and those of the Univer-sity.
Most of the courses have been
formulated in accordance with the
corresponding courses over there.
Annual Banquets Open
Commencement Scaso
DECORATIONS CORRESPOND
WITH THEMES FOLLOWED
Christ's message, "Ye are the Light
of the World" was the theme of the
program of the annual banquet given
by the Underclassmen for the Seniors
of the Seminary and Bible and Mis-sionary
Training School at the Golde
Rule Tea Rooms, Wednesday evening,
May 17. The five tables were deco
rated to represent five countries,
namely: A 1 a s k a; India; China;
Africa; and the United States, the
home base.
Dr. Karlson, the first speaker, dis-cussed
briefly the "Source of Light",
then Margaret Anderson stressed the
qualifications and duties of the "Ves-sels
of Light". The "Need of the
Light" was emphasized by Walter
Watkin. Lillian Kardell followed the
train of thought, speaking on the
"Poiker of Light", and Earl Widen
concluded with the message, "Let,
Your Light so Shine". John Ander-son
was toastmaster.
Special music was furnished by
Robert Klingberg, tenor; and Marian
Sandin, violinist.
Academy Banquet Has Dutch Motif
In a little Dutch village, walled in
by dikes and the sea, and amid a host
of quaint Dutch windmills the Juniors
and the Seniors of the Academy met
May 20 for their annual banquet.
The Dutch village was really the
Academy chapel which had been trans-formed
into a delightful banqueting
hall under the skillful direction of
Kenneth Mead and his assistants.
A large wooden windmill stood
guard at the sea wall as the faculty,
students, and friends filed in and
found their placts at the tables.
A splendid three-course dinner was
served, after which Virgil Olson, the
toast-master, led the Juniors in ren-dering
a splendid program.
The last number on the program
aroused much amusement. The "Dutch
Treat" given by members of the
Junior class turned out to be the busi-ness
meeting of a Ladies' Aid Society
in 1950. During a rather gossipy
session of the women, their pastor,
and visiting missionary, a great deal
of light was shed as to the future of
the Seniors of 1933.
Professor C. E. Carlson Main Speaker
The annual Athletic Banquet was
held Friday, May 26. in the school
auditorium under the sponsorship of
the athletic board. The guests of
hcnor were twenty-six Bethel athletes
who participated in basketball, base-ball,
and track.
The main sneaker of the evening
was Professor C. E. Carlson, who
spoke on "The Place of Athletics in
the School." Short talks were also
given by Earl Widen, captain of the
Junior College basketball team; Bob
Wallin and Karl Koch, co-captains of
the Academy basketball team; Coach
Ray Nelson; and Andrew Boylan,
chairman of the Athletic board. Clar-ice
Wessman was toastmaster.

Magnus Berglund and Francis
Sorley Named Honor Students
Scholarship honors have been
awarded to Magnus G. Berglund and
Francis B. Sorley of the graduating
class of the Junior College.
Both of these men have taken an
active part in the extra-curricular
activities of the school. Bud is presi-dent
of the Senior class; he was win-ner
of the 1933 oratorical contest; has
been a member of the College debat-ing
team; and was president of the
College Club in the fall of 1932. Be-sides
this he has served as student
pastor of the France Avenue Chapel
in Minneapolis since the fall of 1929.
He will represent the Junior College
at Commencement.
Francis, who expects to continue his
preparation for the ministry at the
Seminary, came to Bethel from the
University of Minnesota. He has been
prominent in the organization of the
Bethel Association of Religious Activi-ties,
serving as its first president, and
was also a member of the College de-bating
team. He will have a part in
the Class Day exercises.
Linguistic Ability Revealed
In Twelve Language Program
The illusion that the Swedes are the
Chosen People, and that Swedish will
be the language of heaven evidently
is not held by students at Bethel.
At the social hour of an Alexis
meeting recently, a brief program was
given with numbers, Bible verses and
songs, in twelve languages: Spanish,
Hebrew, Russian, Chinese, French,
Latin, Norwegian, Welsh, Lithuanian,
Greek, Swedish and Chippewa Indian.

500 NEW SUBSCRIBERS SOUGHT
AMONG ALUMNI AND FRIENDS
A program is being outlined by the
new staff of the Clarion to extend its
subscription list to five hundred out-side
subscribers, chiefly among alumni
and young peoples societies in the
denomination.
If there is the response from the
alumni that is expected, it will be pos-sible
to issue the Clarion every two
weeks rather than every three weeks
as has been the case this year.
A course in journalism is also being
planned that will enable staff mem-bers
and others interested in writing
for publication to gain the theoretical
knowledge that is necessary for good
newspaper work.
Intrepid Big Game Hunters
Overcome ferocious Beast
DORMITORY TERROR FINALLY
TRAPPED IN LAIR AND SLAIN
Although the men's dormitory in the
Seminary building had been terrorized
for some time by the depradations of
a ferocious beast whose tearing fangs
and voracious appetite struck fear in
the hearts of every inmate, attempts
at capture had failed until Dave
Guston, intrepid and versatile editor-elect
of the Clarion, bravely supported
by his room-mate, Jack Anderson,
took his life in his hands, and brought
to an end the bloody career of the
marauder.
About midnight, the evening of the
Athletic Banquet, the beast was heard
moving in his lair. Hasty plans for
a campaign of offence were laid and
impromptu weapons of warfare were
called into use, and after a life-risking
and valiant attack the prey was over-come.
The following morning the weapons,
evidencing hard usage, were found on
display, together with the trophy of
the hunt. The weapons consisted of
a long-handled oil mop, a dime-store
hammer, a carpet beater, a broken-handled
broom, and a couple of other
tools; the prey, a poor little innocent
mouse.
Dean Danielson to Head.Organization
C. E. Carlson Appointed Registrar
CURRICULUM TO INCLUDE
PRE-PROFESSIONAL AND
PRE-REQUISITE COURSES
New Employment Service
Planned
A plan to merge the administrations
of the Junior College and the Acad-emy
in accordance with the 6-4-4 edu-cational
system was unanimously ac-cepted
at a recent meeting of the
Board of Directors of Bethel Institute.
According to this arrangement
Bethel Junior College will next year
include the Junior and Senior years
of the ordinary high school course.
The adminstration of this new unit
will be headed by the present dean of
the Junior College, Mr. Walfred
Danielson. To assist in the admini-stration,
C. E. Carlson was appointed
as registrar.
The so-called 6-4-4 plan, although
it represents a new trend in education,
has passed the experimental stage and
is now being used by progressive edu-cational
boards in several states, Cali-fornia
having used it with success for
some time. The plan provides for
three separate units: first, the grade
school including grades one to six;
second, the Junior High School, in-cluding
the seventh and eight grade
and the first two years of high school;
and the third, Senior High School and
Junior College, covering the junior
and senior years of high school and
the first two years of College.
Pre-Professional Courses Added
Approached as to plans for next
year, Dean Danielson stated that
plans are being made to broaden out
the curriculum of the Junior College
to include several pre-professional
courses such as pre-engineering, pre-medical,
pre-dental, and pre-educa-tional,
in addition to the present offer-ings
in Liberal Arts and pre-seminary.
Plan New Employment Service
Mr. Danielson also intimated that
a more vigorous employment service
is being planned. "To every worthy
and needy student", said Dean Daniel-son,
"who pays in cash for tuition and
fees, Bethel Junior College hopes to
provide sufficient employment on the
campus, in homes, or with Twin City
firms to cover the necessities of board
and room."
Pre-Requisite Course Planned
In view of the fact that Minnesota
Junior high schools only carry their
students through the ninth grade, it
is planned to offer pre-requisite
courses which will make it possible
for students coming from the junior
high schools to enter Bethel Junior
College. On the basis of this new ar-rangement
an intensive publicity pro-gram
in favor of students for next
year has kal,ready: been undertaken.
Judging by the early responses as
reported by the registrar, Professor
C. E. Carlson, indications are that
next year's enrollment will probably
be at least twice the present Junior
College enrollment.
The plans for the re-organization
go to the General Conference meeting
in Chicago June 14-18 for verification.

THE BETHEL CLARION
Editorial
"Bethel is not the place it used to be" is a
remark that we often hear from those who have
been here in years past. Many times it is said
with a sigh. We admit the truth of the statement
but we do not sigh. Passing years, changing
student bodies, transitions in administrations will
inevitably bring about altered manifestations of
school life.
Bethel's alterations may disturb some, but
we feel that if candid judgment is to • be passed,
that some of these changes at least, have been
directed toward true advancement.
Especially noticeable has been the new feel-ing
of unity and understanding between the dif-ferent
departments of our school. Intramural
athletics, union chapel services, reorganization of
religious activities, an all school newspaper—all
have contributed to this advance.
What then of spiritual things ? Has there
been any advance in this realm ? Of this we hesi-tate
to speak. Spiritual values and trends are
more difficult to evaluate than the material.
Perhaps we can detect a forward movement
toward a new sincerity — a stripping away of
hypocrisy and of cant. If this be true, it is well—
for herein lies genuine progress.
Certainly it is true that if there is material
and intellectual accomplishment not followed by
a corresponding spiritual growth, we have missed
our goal.
To Our Adviser
A pioneering venture involves participation in
many kinds of work ; and in the launching out
this year on a new project as an Institute publica-tion,
the Clarion staff has had to exercise its abil-ity
in various lines. This is particularly true of
the leader of this pioneer group, who has served
not only as our adviser, but has graciously assist-ed
in the capacity of proofreader, typist, reporter,
copyreader, and editor.
Under her able guidance and wise counsel our
new paper has weathered successfully, we feel,
the difficulties that have arisen during the year.
To Miss Esther Sabel we express our apprecia-tion
for her kindliness, encouragement, and help.
APPRECIATION
Members of the faculty, students, and alumni
feel that this year the Clarion has made some big
strides in the direction of being a school news-paper
in the full sense of that word. But to edit
a paper, even though it is small and tri-weekly,
requires much time, thought, and skill. The brunt
of the burden rests on the shoulders of the editor-in-
chief ; and our editor deserves a vote of thanks
for the success he has attained in the editing of
our school paper.
The Chief has set a new and high standard for
the Clarion, and he is to be commended on the
ability he has shown in his work. His courtesy
and tact have made the work a delight to his fel-low
staff workers.
Who's Who
Eric N. Lindholm
The Rev. Eric N. Lindholm, Execu-tive
Secretary for the Minnesota
Swedish Baptist Conference, has con-tinued
to serve this year also as
teacher of Homiletics in the Bible and
Missionary Training School.
Mr. Lindholm was born in Stora
A , Ostergotland, Sweden. At the
age of nine he came to America and
settled with his parents in Lindsborg,
Kansas. In September, 1916, he came
to Bethel to prepare for the gospel
ministry, graduating from the Acad-emy
in 1919 and from the Seminary
in 1922. In Bethel he was an excellent
student and showed marked ability in
public speaking. He served the Grove
City church as student pastor.
While pastor of the Ballard Church
in Seattle, Mr. Lindholm spent two
years at the University of Washing-ton.
In the fall of 1927 he was called
to the Central Church in St. Paul.
Soon after coming to St. Paul he was
elected to the School Board of Bethel
Institute and served as secretary of
the Board until the past year when
his work has made it necessary for
him to be away from the Twin Cities
the greater part of the time.
The Rev. Mr. Lindholm preaches the
gospel with power. He is always a
welcome speaker at young people's
rallies and summer assemblies. Be-cause
of his especial interest in evan-gelism
he accepted the call of the
Minnesota Conference to become Exe-cutive
Secretary. His work in this
field takes him into all parts of Min-nesota
and his earnest and powerful
messages are an inspiration to many.
HIS LAMP AM I
To shine where He shall say;
And lamps are not for sunny rooms,
Nor for the light of day;
But for the dark places of the earth,
Where shame and wrong and crime
have birth,
Or for the murky twilight gray,
Where wandering sheep have gone
astray;
Or where the light of faith grows dim
And souls are groping after Him.
And as sometimes a flame we find,
Clear-shining through the night,
So bright we do not see the lamp,
But only see the light,
So may I shine—His life the flame—
That men may glorify His name.
—Selected.
THE BIBLE
Dig deep in this precious golden mine,
Toil, and its richest ore is thine;
Search, and the Saviour will lend His
aid,
To draw its wealth from its mystic
shade;
Strive, and His Spirit will give the
light,
To work in this heavenly mine
aright;
Pray without ceasing, in Him confied,
Into all truth His light will guide.
—Anon.
The Book Corner
By H. C. Wingblade
An appropriate book for perusal at commence-ment
time is Herald M. Doxsees' GETTING INTO
YOUR LIFEWORK (Abingdon Press, New York).
The book is the result of the author's own rich ex-perience
and observation as well as of consultation
with some of America's most prominent leaders.
From his first sentence, "We are living in an age
of surprises", to his last sentence, "In giving to men
his best he will receive more than riches—the pleas-ure
of having done a good work well",—the author
leads the reader on through the various steps and
problems.
He emphasizes the need of facing life squarely
in early youth; seeking and applying the best possi-ble
advice; of laying a strong foundation of educa-tion;
of carefully analyzing his own fitness for the
proper task; of thinking in terms of the work in
which he will render most useful service to the
world; of choosing highly his life call; and finally of
throwing himself unreservedly into that call.
The sobs of old men who have failed are heard;
the kindly warning of old men who have succeeded
is passed on. Peak after peak of world figures are
sighted — Jane Addams, Alice Freeman Palmer,
Hoover, Grenfell, Babson, Wanamaker.
As a sample of good advice for doing chosen
work well we have the following: (1) be observant;
(2) use notebook; (3) listen to advice; (4) seek the
best health; (5) be courteous. Nor is the seeking of
divine guidance disregarded.
As a kind of climax to the book is quoted the
words expressing the leading principle of the great
Christian merchant prince, John Wanamaker: "Do
the very best you can and leave the rest to Provi-dence."
The book is on the reserve shelf.

Much Ado .. .
S-Q-U-E-A-K, SQUEAK
It seems to me the squeak in the chapel chairs gets
worse as the months go by. I suppose one remedy would
be to tie every student to his chair so he couldn't move.
But I'm wondering if something can't be done during the
summer vacation to the chairs themselves. Would some
wooden pegs, or some oil, or a tightening of screws help
matters any ? The Squeaks are not conducive to concen-tration
on the chapel talk—and I want to know what is
being said.
—Anti-Squeak.
Ouch!
Many authorities say that the big part in an education
is learning how to live with those with whom we daily
come in contact. If we fail to live unselfishly with our
fellow men here at Bethel, how and when are we going
to do it when we get away from here ? How would it be
if we started to show a little respect for those around us ?
It seems odd that some persons have to make their
stump speeches and perform their gymnastics during the
very hours that students with regular habits are using for
rest. One can be certain that one of the radios will be on
duty in case some of the "wind-jammers" forget to do
their part in preventing the midnight slumbers.
Let's not be as selfish as a bunch of idiots! Let's all
enjoy living instead!
—Hopeful.
Think On These Things
By Esther Sabel
And Abraham built the altar there, and took the knife
to slay his son. And the angel of Jehovah called unto him
.. . Lay not thy hand upon the lad. Gen. 22:9-12.
Our hardest sacrifices are never so hard as we thought
they were going to be, IF we go on with them to the very
uttermost that God asks. A sacrifice of self to God's will
made half-way. or even nine-tenths. is a grinding, cruel
experience. When it is made the WHOLE way, with the
altar built, and self in one's dearest hope laid upon the
altar, God always comes with an unexpected blessing that
so overwhelms us with love and joy that the hardship
of the sacrifice sinks out of sight. -Now I know that
thou fearest God, seeing thou bast not witheld. - Can
He say that to us today? No one ever knows the full joy
of hearing this word from God until the altar has been
built, and the knife is laid to the sacrifice.
—C. G. TRUMBULL.

GUSTAF VASA'S BIBLE-1541
EARLIEST SWEDISH BIBLE PRINTED
OWNED BY BETHEL INSTITUTE
June, 1933 THE CLARION Page Five
BETHEL Theological Seminary was
founded by Dr. Alexis Edgren
over a half a century ago to meet a
vital need for trained leadership
among the Swedish Baptists of
America. The school was fostered
during its infancy by the University
of Chicago, until, having grown with
the denomination, it was able to leave
its foster mother and begin an inde-pendent
existence. The history of the
Seminary has been varied, trying at
times, but as if in confirmation of the
faith of its founders, each obstacle
has been surmounted.
Bethel Seminary was founded by
men of great faith and noble vision,
men who believed that they were in-struments
under God for the advanc-ing
and perpetuating of His work. It
was by this faith that the Seminary
survived the perils of the years, and
it is by this faith that it will survive
the difficulties of the future.
The founders of the school saw the
need of a well trained spiritual leader-ship
for Swedish Baptists of America.
Though the Seminary has grown in
intellectual stature as the years have
passed, the great emphasis has ever
been upon the spiritual ideals in-stilled
by those who gave it birth.
The Seminary has a unique min-istry
in the teaching of the "faith of
our fathers", the living, inspired Word
of God. It is the vital center of the
denomination, a center upon -which
every denominational activity is ulti-mately
dependent for life,.
Axel C. Backlund, Th. G.
Axel C. Backlund came to Bethel
from Grand Marais, Minnesota, where
he is a member of the Swedish Baptist
Church. He has taken work in the
Academy as well as in the Seminary,
and graduates this spring with the

Axel has accepted a call to be pas-tor
of the Swedish Baptist Church at
Lancaster, Minnesota, and will take
up the work there after graduation.

WELVE years ago the Bible and
1 Missionary Department of Bethel
was organized for the purpose of
training young people for Christian
service. The aim of this department
is not only to prepare young men and
women for definite foreign and home
missionary work but also to supply
the needs of those who desire to be-come
more efficient workers in their
own home churches, and to fill the
ever increasing demand for trained
leaders.

And let me live, and love, and give,
for Thee.
"Be ye doers of the Word and not
hearers only" has been the maxim of
the girls in the Bible and Missionar
Training School this year.
In accordance with this precept the
girls have been busy with church(
visitation; church secretarial work ;
Sunday school classes; supervision of
Junior Y. P. Societies; worship and
play classes for community girls;
Gospel services and Bible study class-es
in girls' Homes; teaching handwork
and telling stories at the city mis-sions;
distributing tracts; and above
all, putting into practice the truths
learned in the personal soul-winning
class wherever opportunity has pre-sented
itself.
To the girls themselves has come
a new joy and a deeper realization of
the truth that "we are saved to serve."

"GET THY TOOLS READY; THE
LORD WILL GIVE THEE WORK"
Not every student who enters the
Bethel Bible and Missionary Training
School comes with the purpose of pre-paring
for the ministry or for full
time missionary service; nor is the
appeal of our school intended to be
limited to such. There are, in our
own home churches, boundless possi-bilities
for faithful, earnest service
awaiting the consecrated and trained
Christian young man and woman. To
those who are willing to be used. of
1Christ as He directs, avenues of serv-ice—
humble though they may some-
' times be — will present themselves.
Nevertheless, a number of our former
students are in full time Christian
work both at home and on foreign
fields.
In far away Africa, for example,
we have two representatives, Esther
Ehnbom—our first contribution to the
f or e i g n mission field — and Linda
Erickson; in India, three, Elsie May
Larson, Fern Rold, and Doris Skog-lund
Frykenberg; in the Philippines,
Fortunata Salmorin, and in Japan,
Florence Nystrom Collins. One is
under appointment to Africa and ex-pects
to go as soon as the necessary
funds are forthcoming; thirteen are in
further preparation for foreign mis-sionary
service or ready to go as soon
as the mission boards are in condition
to send them; these latter include five
nurses, one young man completing his
first year of medical college, two
teachers, one social service worker,
one college senior, and one home mis-sion
worker.
On the home field six of our young
men graduates and one young woman
are holding pastorates; twenty-five
are faithfully serving congregations
as wives of ministers; one is a
matron in a children's home. A large
number have gone back to their own
home churches and are serving more
efficiently, because of their special
training, as Sunday School teachers
and superintendents, directors of
junior choirs, superintendents of
junior societies, and leaders in various
phases of young people's work.

BETHEL Junior College is closing
its first two-year program under
the 112,Jst auspicious circum-stances.
The school came into existence just
in time to meet the threatening chal-lenges
of the depression—tests which
would try the metal of institutions
already well established.
Through it all the college has had
attachments which seem to have kept
it not only safe but which have con-tributed
to a steady development and
substantial foundation. The most
fundamental of these is the purpose
which brought the school into being.

Class Song
To Tune "Farewell to Thee"
From the peaceful hills and vales we
came,
Our Bethel ever dear, to thee.
With one accord we bless thy name,
This our class of nineteen hundred
thirty-three.
Our fondest hopes were born in thee
We love and cherish every thought.
And to this class of thirty-three
Sweet memories are brought.
And to our teachers loyal, true,
Whose faith in God is ever sweet,
May God's rich blessings rest on you
Till the day when we shall altogether
meet.
The time for us to part has come
In nineteen hundred thirty-three.
We say farewell to thee our home,
But we shall loyal be.
To our friends and classmates one and
all,
We cannot really say goodbye;
We will only sing our farewell song;
Re-union Day will very soon be draw-ing
nigh.
Beloved class of thirty-three
Put on your armour ever bright.
Great victories we hope to see
Through. Christ who is our might.

Bible Study, Missions, and Gospel
Team work. Under the Prayer Group,
six bands have been organized to meet
at different times during the day. A
student group for Bible study dis-cusses
problems that do not ordinarily
enter into the work of the Bible
classes of the regular curriculum. The
Student Volunteers remain a separate
organization under the Mission Study
Group; they will continue to promote
interest in missions through addresses
by missionaries home on furlough,
stereoptican lectures on foreign mis-sion
fields, as well as through deputa-tion
meetings conducted in the
churches. Membership on Gospel
Teams will be limited to those whose
Christian experience and character, as
well as oratorical or musical ability,
warrants their appointment to such a
position of responsibility and privi-lege.
A Council was carefully chosen, and

BETHEL ASSOCIATION OF
RELIGIOUS ACTIVITIES
Bethel Institute is a C h r i s t i a n
school. That is the primary justifica-tion
for its existence. It is a school
of high educational standards, and
everything possible is done to keep its
scholastic standing high. But most
of the students who choose to come to
Bethel come, first of all, because they
desire to get their education in an in-stitution
where they may enjoy Chris-tian
fellowship and be trained in
Christian leadership, whether they in-tend
to enter full time Christian serv-ice
or not. Naturally, there has de-veloped
out of this aspiration various
organizations, intended to meet the
spiritual needs of the students and to
provide expressional activities along
the lines of Christian service.
In the past, prayer meetings have
been conducted morning and evening,
and at other times as the Spirit has
led; the Student Volunteer Band has
sought to inspire and foster interest
in missions, especially foreign mis-sions,
both within the school and in
the various churches of the Twin
Cities and surrounding towns; Gospel
teams have witnessed to the saving
grace of Jesus Christ in missions, old
people's homes, boarding houses, and
elsewhere.
There has been a growing convic-tion,
however, that this phase of our
school life should Le more closely or-ganized
than has been true in the
past. As a result, the Bethel Associa-tion
of Religious Activities came into
being during the latter part of the
present school year.
Under this association all the re-ligious
activities of the school are
divided into four groups: Prayer,
In line with the modern trend in
education, Bethel Institute has seen
the advisability of placing as much
of school government as possible in
the hands of the students themselves.
A Student Council has served in this
capacity for many years in the Acad-emy
department. Last fall, to meet
the increased demands created by the
addition of the Junior College, this
organization was reorganized to in-clude
the students in the new depart-ment.
A new constitution, drawn up early
in the year, provides for the promo-tion
and general control of student
activities by the Student Council, as
well as cooperation with the faculty
in maintaining proper conduct on the
part of the students.
The organization of a Student
Council in the Seminary and Bible and
Missionary Training School completes
the investment of self-government in
the student body. In matters that
concern the entire school the two
Student Councils unite in discussing
problems and administering affairs.

One of the phases of the cultural
expansion program at Bethel that has
received much emphasis this year is
debating. An affirmative and a neg-ative
team considered the subject
"Resolved that the United States
should agree to the cancellation of all
inter-allied war debts."
Although but one victory was gain-ed
by the first Junior College teams, a
foundation has been laid that it is
hoped will win high honors for Bethel
in coming years. Certainly forensics
will become an increasingly important
factor in the life of a school which
places such great emphasis upon the
development of public speaking.
Debating contributes to thorough
scholarship by way of research, and
develops poise and the ability to rea-son
before an audience. With the
growth of school membership at
Bethel, a place on the debating teams
will bear an honor for which there
will be keen competition.

The Male Chorus is one of the old-est
as well as one of the most prom-inent
organizations at Bethel. In-cluded
in its annual program is usual-ly
an extended tour, which this year
covered six states: Minnesota, South
Dakota, Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas, and
Missouri.
Under the experienced leadership
of Professor George G. Hultgren, who
directs several musical organizations
in the Twin Cities, including the Odin
Male Chorus, members of the club re-ceive
valuable training in chorus sing-ing.
This together with the fellow-ship
among the boys, the anticipation
of the annual tour, as well as of the
various shorter trips taken each year
makes membership in the club a much
sought-for position.

Baseball
Although Bethel has not had a base-ball
team for many years, and is the
newest member of the Southern Min-
' nesota Junior College League, base-ball
has nevertheless had a very good
following from the student body this
year. At the first call for practice
there were more out than there had
been for any other sport.

.'• The team is being coached by Mar-shall
Ryman, from the University of
Minnesota. He has played on a U
team for three years, and has also had
experience coaching several other
teams before coming here.
The first team consists of: Karl
Koch and Carl Holmberg, pitchers;
Albin Carlson, catcher; Cliff Lindor,
first baseman; Dick Paulson, second
baseman; Andy Sinkiewicz, third base-man;
Lowell Anderson, shortstop; and
Francis Sorley, Don Tanquist, Cliff
Dickau, and Vic Ernest, fielders.
Most of the players on this year's
team will be back next year to con-tinue
their playing. Don Tanquist,
who is playing field for the Bethel
team, was formerly a student at Sioux
Falls College and holder of several
track records there, and amazes the
rival pitchers with his speedy circuit
of the bases.
Athletic Prospects for Coming
Year
The outlook for Bethel's athletic
program for next year is unusually
bright. In basketball, Bethel is keep-ing
her entire team practically intact
while the two strongest teams in the
league are losing much of their best
talent. Coach Ray Nelson will un-doubtedly
be back also, and thus the
loss of time and effort in learning the
technique of a new coach will be elim-inated.
For baseball as well, many of this
year's squad will return, as will also
the coach, Marshall Ryman. Koch,
who seems to be Bethel's best all
around athlete, is one of the players
who will be on next year's team. He
can handle a catching, pitching, or
fielding job equally well, but will

Since basketball talent here has
divided„ two teams this year,
one_ team being entered in the Acad-
. emy league, and one in the Junior
,College league, Bethel has not been
as strong in basketball as she has
been previously. This condition, how-ever,
will be remedied next year by
concentrating all the strength to
building 1.1D a strong Junior College
team.
During the past season the Acad-emy
team champions of the Twin City
Academic Leagues the year before,
finished fourth in their conference.
The team had been considerably weak-ened
by the loss of two of the best
players Bethel has ever trained, Bill
Adam and Lloyd Magnuson, who en-tered
the University of Minnesota,
and Macalester College, respectively.
Adam, who came to Bethel without
any knowledge of basketball, played
on the team here for four years, and
then upon graduation from the Acad-emy
played a regular position on the
freshman team at the University.
An outstanding player, who has had
a position on both the Academy and
College team this year, is Karl Koch,
a Junior in the Academy. He has
distinguished himself by his speed and
smoothness in playing. Earl Widen,
captain of the College team, has also
made an enviable record.
The more or less impromptu track
team showed surprising strength this
I spring by placing second in a tri-angular
meet with Concordia and St.
Paul Luther. Track had not been
planned officially this year, and be-cause
of this the boys did not obtain
the definite training that a coach
would have supplied.
Most of the boys who placed in the
meet will be back next year. Tan-quist,
the fastest man in the Junior
College League, will return, as will Al
Carlson and Koch, distance men, and
Tasker and Vic Johnson, high jump-ers.
In addition to all this experi-enced
material, Bethel will probably
have a track coach and regular prac-tices.
With all these assets, prospects
for a high place for Bethel next year
are very bright.

Dr. Martin Luther defeated Bethel
Friday, May 19, by a score of 8-7 in a
see-saw affair at New Ulm.
Bethel took the lead in the first
inning after Sinkiewicz had been
thrown out at first. Wallin got a
single to left field, and Lindor follow-ed
with a two-base hit to left center,
scoring Wallin. Cully Holmberg slap-ped
a single to right which scored
Lindor, and Dickau next up hit a
bounder to the short-stop and was
put out to complete Bethel's half of
the inning.
D. M. L. scored one run in their
half when Bartles was called safe at
the plate on a close play. Bethel add-ed
another run in the second inning,
combining a walk and two hits for the
tally, which made the score 3 to 1 in
their favor. The home nine scored
one run in the fourth frame on a hit
and an error.
In the fifth inning Luther scored
five runs on three hits. Coupled with
two errors they maintained this lead
until the seventh trip to the bat when
Bethel scored four runs on three hits,
two bases on balls, and an error. D.
M. L. scored the deciding tally in the
eighth inning when Beck was given a
base on balls, Reiss sacrificed, ad-vancing
Beck to second, and Berndt
sent a two-base hit to right center,
bringing in the winning score.
Holmberg with three hits led the
Bethel attack.

If Bethel could only get the track
officials to have a ten minute rest be-tween
events, we could enter Tanquist
in every event and take all first
places.
There is a deeper meaning to
Athletics than just playing the game,
a great man once said, but most
athletes can't go deep enough to find
it.
The story is told that when Koch
was running the mile at Concordia he
entered the last hundred yards in third
place; but as he neared the finish, he
looked up, screwed his face into a
grimace and with a burst of speed
finished second. Why don't the rest of
the team make faces?
Al Carlson injured his finger in an
attempt to block a runner off at the
plate in the Martin Luther game at
New Ulm. He received a little first
aid and continued as catcher.
Most of the Bethel players seemed
to have a vacant and wandering look
during the game Saturday. We won-der
if it could have been because of
too much sleep the night before.

Luther was victorious. Concordia fin-ished

Fate of College Seniors
Predicted in Comedy Skit
JUNIOR COLLEGE CLUB GIVES
ENTERTAINMENT IN HONOR
OF GRADUATING CLASS
The fate of the college seniors
twenty years hence was predicted in
an uproariously humorous skit, given
in honor of the graduating class, by
the Juniors at the last College Club
meeting, May 15.
The scene was set in the home of
Charlotte Miller, at Upsala, Sweden,
where she was entertaining the class
of '33 at a reunion celebrating the
twentieth anniversary of their Com-mencement.
Charlotte (impersonated
b y Gertrude Liljegren), a home eco-nomics
teacher, was presented as the
fiancee of Don Peterson (Vern Wess-man),
conductor of the Upsala Sym-phony
Orchestra. The engagement,
however, had a disastrous termination,
as the audience later learned.
The first guest to arrive was Al
Bergfalk (Don Clover), who was still
a bachelor, still editing and preaching;
he had become almost totally bald.
A salesman, who turns out to be Bud
Berglund (Layton Jackson), appears,
selling a miraculous hair-restorer.
Sam Wessman (Dave Guston, a pro-fessor
of Spelling (!), has proved to
be the very personification of absent-mindedness.
He was "conveyed" to the
home of Charlotte by a cab driver,
Francis Sorley (Birger Swenson),
who, having left out an accent mark
in a Greek examination at Bethel, had
lost his grip on life.
Outbursts of laughter were con-stantly
drawn forth by the "taking
ways" of Charlotte's aunt, Christina
(John Anderson), who was smitten by
love for the Spelling professor.
The climax proved tragic, for just
as Al Bergfalk was about to read the
wedding ceremony for Charlotte and
Don, an officer (Axel Backlund), ac-companied
by a young girl, (Alice
Gustafson), rushed in and amid the
consternation of all arrested Don for
breach of promise.
Wise and Otherwise
Idiomatically Speaking
Alice Gustafson: "Completely un-trained
and with no openings outside
of school teaching, my Aunt fell back
on her needle."
Dallas Johnson: "That's nothing,
my father sat down on the spur of
the moment."
Sound Judgment
Don Peterson: "This car is sound
in every part:"
Sam Wessman: "So I hear."
Bob Wallin, writing: "Hey, Don,
how many n's in financially ?"
Don Bersell: "Two, and there are
two r's in embarrassed."
Ivan Sundberg: "Miss Nelson, what
have I learned today ?"
Miss Nelson: "Why, Virgil, what a
question to ask."
Ivan S.: "Well, not that I care per-sonally,
but they always want to know
at home."
THANK YOU!
To the Clarion Staff the Bethel In-stitute
Alumni wish to express their
appreciation for the space so gen-erously
reserved without cost. Is
there not some way by which we can
reciprocate next year—by subscribing
for the Clarion, by sending in news
items to the alumni editor, or by ad-vertising
in its columns ?
Among the Grads
The big news event for the Alumni
Column is the ACADEMY ALUMNI
FELLOWSHIP BANQUET. Let us
hear what our president has to say
about it:
GREETINGS TO THE ACADEMY
ALUMNI:
Seeing that I did not make an in-augural
address, I desire to call upon
our fellows for a real genuine spirit
of cooperation in regard to the Alumni
Fellowship Banquet. This fellowship
will bring us into the Twenty-fifth
Anniversary of our Association. Plans
are under way for a great ALL-IN-STITUTE
ALUMNI organization.
Come to our Spring meeting and find
out all about this. Then, there will be
the opportunity for a social fellowship
around the dinner tables, together
with a fine program of music and
talks. Help make this a worth-while
occasion.
Remember the date . . . June 7
Place . . . Bethel Academy
Time .. . 6:30 P. M.
Tickets . . . 50 cents
Fraternally yours,
BILL TAPPER.
The speakers for the Baccalaureate
service and the Commencement Exer-cises
have been chosen from the list of
our Seminary Alumni—The Rev. F.
C. Hamlin, pastor of the Englewood
Swedish Baptist Church, Chicago, will
give the baccalaureate address and
Dr. Emil Friborg who has recently
rounded out his twenty-five years of
service with the Seattle First Swedish
Baptist Church, will give the Com-mencement
address.
On his return from an extended
tour throughout the state of Wash-ington
in the interest of Bethel, Dean
Danielson reports a very profitable
contact with Bethelites on the coast.
The local alumni chapter and Mr.
Danielson were entertained on Mon-day
evening, May first, at the home
of the Rev. and Mrs. Reuben Olson
of Seattle, at which time the interests
of the Alma Mater were discussed.
Mr. Olson is a graduate of the Semi-nary,
class of '29.
Prominent among the guests were
Dr. Emil Friborg of Seattle, Rev.
David Moberg, Rev. and Mrs. A. B.
Nelson of Tacoma, Miss Adelle Carl-son
of Puyallup, and Mr. David
Youngdahl of the Seattle-Pacific Col-lege,
whose contributions to the dis-cussion
were most favorable to Bethel
and its future.
The Columbia Chapter of Bethel
Alumni is a progressive group. The
school will hear from their efforts in
its behalf, not least from the view-point
of financial support. They are a
wide awake and influential contingent
of Bethel boosters.
Recent visitors at Bethel: The Rev.
and Mrs. Wm. Backlund of Virginia,
Minnesota, the Rev. and Mrs. Marvin
Samuelson of Eveleth, Minnesota, the
Rev. and Mrs. Martin Erickson of
Moline, Illinois, and the Rev. A. W.
Erickson of Beresford, South Dakota,
Margaret Urban, Doris Eastlund and
Evelyn Mattson visited the Clarion
office after Alexis meeting May 24.
Mr. and Mrs. Melvin Christiansen
(formerly Amy Lambert) proudly an-nounce
the arrival into their home of
a baby boy. Congratulations!
Jeanette Carlson left April 25th to
work with the Rev. A. 0. Lundeen
in Northern Minnesota.

The motto of the Sophomore class
of 1933 has been, "Wisdom is the
principle thing: therefore, get wis-dom:
and with all thy getting, get un-derstanding."
The Sophomores feel
that if they have approached the at-tainment
of their goal this year, it has
been because of the patience and un-derstanding
of their adviser, Miss
Nelson.

were elected last Saturday as
follows: John Anderson, president;
Lester Thompson, vice president;
Ethel Nelson, secretary; David Gus-ton,

an expression of their appreciation to
her as their capable adviser. After a
pleasant evening of social fellowship,
refreshments were served. She was
presented with a painting "Christ in
Garden of Gethsemane."
At a recent meeting of the Junior
College Club officers were elected for
the coming year. The new officers
are: President, David Guston; Vice
President, Vern Wessman; Secretary,
Adeline Olson; Treasurer, Earl An-derson.
